Publications of IACR

IACR maintains multiple forms of publications:

• The Journal of Cryptology
  This is the premier academic journal in the field of cryptology. According to ISI it is also one of the top journals in the whole of Theoretical Computer Science. The journal is edited by an independent Editorial Board appointed by the Editor in Chief. The Editor in Chief is appointed by the IACR Board and then sits on the Board as one of the board members.
• The Proceedings from IACR conferences and workshops.
  Proceedings of IACR conferences and workshops are published by Springer in their LNCS series. Publication in an IACR proceedings is very prestigious and equivalent to a journal publication in other disciplines. From 2000 our proceedings can also be found in the IACR Archive (see below), after a two year delay.
• The IACR ePrint Archive
  To enable timely dissemination of research results the IACR has established an electronic pre-print repository called the ePrint archive. Papers are often published in ePrint many months before they appear in an official publication, also the long version of papers (including detailed proofs not to be found in the printed version) are placed on ePrint.
• The IACR Newsletter
  The IACR Newsletter is published two or three times a year and only available electronically. It is sent to IACR members by email (as HTML and ASCII text) and published on the web.
• The IACR Archive
  Since 2000 the copyright of all IACR conferences and workshops is held by IACR. This means that we can make the proceedings freely available on the web via our IACR Archive. All proceedings should be available after a two year publication window provided by us to Springer.
